haven't you heard of the calm before the storm?
Forever Young (Cover)
"Don't worry. You'll see me in three days when we are all in Honolulu. It'll be nice to have some time with your family without me hanging around, anyways." Louis is still trying to convince me to just stay in Hawaii while he flies back for a few shows in LA.
I sigh in frustration. "Fine! Just let me text Caroline just to make sure it's okay with her. I don't know how I feel about ditching out on work to vacation in Hawaii." I pull my phone out and open my text messages.
"Love, I already told you, I took care--"
"I know but it is my responsibility as a professional to confirm any decision that influences my work with my boss," I say definitively.
"Whatever, miss business woman." Louis winks at me.
I roll my eyes and continue composing a new message.

Hi Caroline. I know Louis talked to you already, but I just wanted to make sure it was okay, because I could always come back with him if you need me.
I press send and walk back over to sit on Louis' lap on the couch. We're lounging around for the day since Louis has to be at the airport in a few hours. I'll admit that I'll miss him. I know how clingy that may sound, but, I mean, we have been with each other almost 24/7 for weeks. It'll be strange not having him around.
"Penny for your thoughts," Louis mumbles into my ear.
"It'll be weird not having you around," I admit, truthfully.
"I know. What will you do? I'm the life of the party!"
I laugh at his modesty. "Whatever. Where's my penny?" I pout.
He chuckles and stretches his leg out to dig into his pocket, trying to maneuver around me on top of him.
He finally brings his fingers out of his pocket with an American brass ¢1 piece.
"Thank you!" I kiss his cheek.
I rest my head back against his chest and play with the penny between my fingers.
My phone buzzes in my pocket and I have to interrupt my little game with the coin and pick up my phone.

No worries. Lou explained. Take your time and be with your family and don't worry about us for a few days. I know you will make it up when you get back. Brooklyn misses you though ;)
From: Avery W.
Aww tell her I miss her too and I will see her soon! Thank you so much Caroline. I really appreciate it and I will make it up to you ten fold when I get back. I will see you in Honolulu :)
From: Caroline👠
Will do ;* see you soon. And tell Louis he best be back here by 8pm local or Paul will have his head xD
From: Avery W
I'll make sure he doesn't try anything ;) Thank you again!❤️❤️❤️❤️
I send the last message and locked my phone again, setting it on the couch beside me.
"All good?"
"Yep. Caroline understood that I just needed a break. What exactly did you tell her, anyways?"
